It's not bent the same in all directions. You can detect the difference in different directions, which is what LIGO does.
Your point, by the way, was hashed out in the early 1900s as part of the development of modern relativity. Physicists were well aware of the problem back then, and that's part of why it's so interesting and important that the speed of light turns out to be a constant.
