would recommend getting a more direct source to criticize in the future so im not considering opinion articles from a peoples magazine as a source

The direct source is the video linked in the article. Arguing the quality of a source material in a subjective debate is just admitting you don't have a counter argument. This isn't a scientific debate, the quote I gave you is directly from the primary source. You can choose not to believe the subjective information in the article, but I didn't make any claims that weren't direct quotes from a primary source.
