Collaborative site that reads the news as re-written by professionals and scientists, on how the news would read had their particular area of research been funded by certain multiples of its current funding.

For example,

Have NASA employees or NDT describe this article with that assumption.

NASA Developing Space-Bound Submarine

Re-read this with 10x the amount of NASA funding in place for the last 10 years.

I think this could be fun, create possibly a browser extension that allows page overlays on top of real pages to allow community participants to rewrite news headlines based on hypothetical situations.

For example, a debate amongst political rivals injected with more respect, civility and empathy to illustrate how those qualities are lacking as well as what is possible with some social change.

Each user can have a layer to choose from to illustrate that users perspective and suggested improvement.
