Personally, my bubble tells me untruths about communities and belief systems I'm not part of - I suspect that yours likely does, too, because it seems to be human nature to distill one's "opponents'" beliefs into something easy to attack. Even when the beliefs are abhorrent, and I'm likely to continue seeing them as abhorrent, it's useful to know what people are actually saying, instead of what my bubble says they're saying.
And the only way I can find to do that consistently is to actively seek sources of information on specific subjects from the "opposing" point of view. The articles my filter bubble send me are generally going to be emotionally-fueled rubbish, because it takes time and effort and a very good understanding of the subject matter to take apart an argument otherwise, and for most people, their time on the Internet is time they don't want to be spending mental energy.
