that is, the homeless, the poor, most people of color, the infirm, the elderly and people in prison. All told, they probably are a majority and their silence is not a matter of choice.

Those of us mentioned by Mr. Timmer do have a voice but we don't shout or tell lies and distortions and we don't control massive media outlets as the right wing does.

He makes a good point that we're seldom heard in popular media. That's because we don't do sensationalism and entertainment.
