There are significant numbers of people who have seen it without physically leaving the bubble. But in this, the Internet is critical, as is a healthy reservoir of skepticism, paranoia, and introspection.

From an engineering perspective, the media bubble is beautiful. The control over the message is elegant and masterfully done. Generally speaking, it is like equal parts stage magic and martial arts.

Any attack against the power structure is simply deflected away from the center line and bounces off. When necessary, a burst of flame from some unsleeved flash paper distracts the attention of the audience just long enough for the real targets to be lost.

As someone who has seen it, living inside it feels almost oppressive. Almost. You have to continually remind yourself that it's there, and it's there to control your behavior.
