We've all got our own information bubble, it doesn't mean we can't account for this in how we understand the world and make decisions. Bias in of itself isn't unhealthy. Bias is very healthy in some regards, it tilts us towards our personal interests, pursuits, endows us with purpose.

Dialectics is one approach to this: thesis, antithesis, synthesis. It's just one skill in navigating a world of complex truths.

Navigating the complex truths of the contemporary world requires these kinds of insights. It's in the interest of some to deny people this capacity, to insist the world is comprised of simple truths and they're the one speaking them.

It's not a new phenomena by any means.
