Ah good old moral relativism.

Isn't the concept of an "information bubble" already inherently relativistic? sevenless was simply pointing out the relativism cuts both ways.

I was just pointing out the obvious.

As opposed to planting your flag in the ground that your camp is always right and the outgroup is evil?

As opposed to at least trying to think a bit.

If you think relativism is fine. Then "As opposed to planting your flag in the ground that your camp is always right and the outgroup is evil?" is also fine.

See how silly and immediately self-contradictory relativism is?

"Trying to think a bit" would be on the side of having more information to think about, I'd imagine. Absolute relativism is a strawman you've brought into it, political tribalism is on the other hand a very real thing.
