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

Not directly about media manipulation, but I recommend The Demon Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, by Carl Sagan. It is mostly about how to be skeptical about claims that people make, and goes through many cases of how different groups try to manipulate people and trick them into believing false ideas. The audiobook is read by Carey Elwes too, which is a plus :)

As much as I love Sagan I think I might op for the audio book.
