Can you point out what has been interpreted the wrong way, and do you know that solely journalists interpreted the data?

Saying "it's all lies!" but not providing anything might work on reddit or something. Here, not so much.
I am very interested in this topic, it fascinates me from various points of view and for different reasons, so I'm always happy to learn more about it.
Edit: You say it is funny that people "just believe it", I say it is funny (actualy sad) that people still believe in "surgical strikes", who could work if the government/those responsible would have a doctrine that respects the lives of innocents more... or at all.
This here is only about drone strike operations in Pakistan by the way:
