"It's not that the majority are silent.…

“It’s not that the majority are/is silent. It’s that the media are/is silent about the majority” is a political saying that has been printed on several images. The saying means that the famous term “silent majority” is not true—it’s “silent” because the media report a different agenda. Usually, this meme has been used to express that the liberal media are silent about a conservative majority.

“It’s not that the majority is silent, it’s that the Media is silent about the majority. #Trump2020 #USALovesPOTUS #MSMIsTheEnemyOfThePeople” was posted on Twitter by TruthSeeker on October 8, 2020. “It’s not that the Majority are silent. It’s that the media are silent about the Majority. #Trump2020” was posted on Twitter by Darlene on October 9, 2020. The saying probably originated on an image.

Wikipedia: Silent majority
The silent majority is an unspecified large group of people in a country or group who do not express their opinions publicly. The term was popularized by U.S. President Richard Nixon in a televised address on November 3, 1969, in which he said, “And so tonight—to you, the great silent majority of my fellow Americans—I ask for your support.” In this usage it referred to those Americans who did not join in the large demonstrations against the Vietnam War at the time, who did not join in the counterculture, and who did not participate in public discourse. Nixon, along with many others, saw this group of Middle Americans as being overshadowed in the media by the more vocal minority.
