What, you prefer a bubble?

False dichotomy.

Just because I don't like the same radio station you like - doesn't mean I want to live in a bubble, and only listen to my own music.

When 50% of the population likes that radio station, then yeah it means you want to live in a bubble.
So if 50 percent of the town I live in watches Fox News, and I don't -- I'm living in a bubble?
If Fox News is different enough from the news you watch, then yes, obviously.
My take is a source is "bubbly" or not on the basis of its content.

Not the portion of people in your immediate vicinity who happen to read/listen to it.
