(lots of links)

I had to go back a few years to find a death toll for civilians in the double digits for a full year of strikes. Didn't go further back because I don't consider it recent anymore.

See the biased corporate media. It has happened as I said hundreds of times with no coverage from western media whatsoever. You probably don't even know if terrorism has gotten worse or better in Pakistan since western media never reports on a terror attack here as compared to France or the like

After looking through the latter half of the links, I can't say that there should have been coverage. Most of the stats suggest efficiency with very little to no civil casualities. This pales in comparison to the headline of this thread.

The government themselves acknowledges however, that it's an estimate, as they admit that they do know exactly how many civilians they kill:
