As a starting point, I’ve thought about a site that just overlays a few NYT articles each day with Genius-like highlights of subtly biased language. No commentary, just drawing attention to unnecessarily slanted language.

One a day would be a good start. Could be nothing more than a Twitter handle that links to an article pasted into Genius or a google doc
