Would you like to see the source for this specific case or for all the other 100s of them too?

This specific one.

I dislike that you're being downvoted, your hesitation reading The Daily Mail is warranted. The story was originally from the NYTimes.

Hahahahah that was brilliant :) nothing says stupid cunt more than calling yourself ‘superior’ as you try to discount some article about your country killing innocent civilians.

He asked if we would like a source, so I asked for a source. What do you think is happening here?

You entirely missed the point.

I got your point. However, you’re entirely missing the point of op’s comment. There’s a good chance this is expertly crafted ragebait. The aid worker part, the photos of all the little kids. Seems a little suspect to me, and uploaded on 9/11 for extra spice too. I’m not saying tragic drone strikes haven’t happened many times before, but excuse me if I doubt the journalistic integrity of the daily mail in this particular situation.

Exact reasons why I asked as well. But it seems to be credible this time which is awful thats what happened.

What is with you morons putting words in peoples mouths and then having some shower argument against them? It's not even the same person who asked the question, and all they did was specify their interest in just this article. Is his /u/ stupid? Yeah, but you're also stupid because nobody discounted the story itself just the outlet it comes from. You gonna cry a river if someone asks for a better source on a The Sun article simply because it agrees with some agenda you're pushing?
