Is the Time magazine piece on the US election, enough to invalidate the outcome?

It all looks highly dodgy. An amalgamation of corporate and state power, using the media to suppress the voices of 50% of the mainstream political spectrum does sound rather Stalinist. How they can argue that this was done to protect democracy is an irony that's a little difficult to swallow - given the relentless speed-march towards totalitarianism

Certainly if Trump had done, just what has been admitted in this article, the entirety of western media would be labelling him Hitler..

Update:

Some really crap answers to questions no one asked. Thanks anon

Update 2:

Elwood, are you suggesting that eradication of 50% of the political spectrum's messages from just about all forms of media, in the run-up to an election, is a valid way of winning an election? The Democratic Republic of the Congo would blush at this

    No, as was widely commented a few months ago when the AP was (correctly) reporting that Biden had won, news reports aren't official and aren't certified results and aren't enough to do anything.

    this is just another reason why I've given up on MSM, (tv, social media, and print media). it's all drivel.

    It was crooked. It has citizens funding campaigns from other states with their billions. The maximum donation to a candidate is under $5000.

    At this point, something has to happen. The current state of our Government is not sustainable. It is long past any doubt that there were incalculable numbers of illegal votes cast. The election failed.

    Nope.  Everything done in support of Biden was fully legal.  Face it, Trump lost, Biden won, fair and square.

    I've read that article and you are lying, it talks about stopping Trump from suppressing voters' rights not corporations doing that themselves
