I want to learn more about media manipulation so I can watch out for it and not get sucked in. (self.iwtl)

Probably a dumb question but what about Wikipedia? For about the past six months i have been pretty much addicted to it.

I too, spend a lot of time on Wikipedia. It's not nearly as unreliable as the old school people seem to think, based on my experience. For hard data, there's typically a citation you can check to be really sure.

This maybe stupid but what usually happens is I read a good article and see the references and usually click on those to learn more. Though since I have been reading about historical terrorist stuff I think I will probably get arrested by the FBI lol.

That's the opposite of stupid. That's exactly what you should do.
