I dunno, it could be somewhat effective. Would be neat to see an experiment.
The problem is that we don't challenge our own assumptions, so having an external mechanism to force the challenge might be useful.
When I hear information that sounds bad about a person I dislike, I like to imagine all the facts as they are, but about a person I do like. Do my feelings change after having changed the subject of the story? If not, perhaps my bias is low. If so, it might indicate a lot of bias.
