I do not share that viewpoint.

It can be assumed that if one person takes the time to write and send
a letter to editor of a newspaper, there may be thousands of others
who share similar concerns or opinions. The letter may serve as an
opportunity for the newspaper editor to reflect on the issue and
potentially address it in a way that resonates with a broader
audience. That is what many media companies do, they assume that if
there is one complaint, there must be thousand of other people who are
silent about it.

And I would like also to say "Will we ever learn?"
