Hey this is an awesome idea!
Each side could vote for articles they think are biased or not biased.
Then you are shown the ones where there is the strongest disagreement between each side.
Another idea is to allow each sentence or paragraph to be evaluated on how biased it is. So someone could read through hovering over sentences and maybe pressing a keyboard shortcut to indicate whether they think this sentence is biased.
The goal is not to evaluate bias, but to find areas of contention and allow the debate/comments to hone in on a particular phrase/paragraph or something.
