Ain't gonna happen - in the end their corporate masters have too strong a hold on virtually all of their testes/ovaries. IMHO, true change will have to come from external grassroots origins & I keep hoping the progressives in Congress will find a way to make that happen. I'm afraid the duopoly is too ingrained in the mindsets of average Americans for that to work without a near complete collapse of the country, however - which is probably why the progressives still haven't stepped out on their own thus far.
