Huge businesses can disproportionately influence politics, shape tastes, and dominate public discourse. True False

That's true

Explanation:

Yes they disproportionately influence politics, shape tastes, and dominate public discourse.

To disproportionately influence means that they influence in a measure that's out of proportion. This is because they are huge and control massive wealth. Money answers all thing they say. They have all it takes to monopolize certain commodities, thereby leaving the populace perpetually at their mercy or subject or glued to their products.

They spend heavily on advertisements and sales campaigns and hence subtly they influence the people's judgement and disposition to their products. The ultimate implication of that would be that the society's taste is also at their mercy too.

Political influence is one thing they command since most of the political sponsors are owners of these huge businesses.
