IWTL I Want To Learn

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 :)
