Wobbles,

Were you being rhetorical with your question: "What's the correct term for somebody who wholeheartledly swallows the media-run view of the world and refuses to challenge anything without some sort of self-defined evidence."

Well you didn't place a question mark after it so I guess, it was rhetorical.

But, I don't care, the answer isn't "hard right" (whatever that means) the answer for someone, who never questions, or doubts or has no ability to look at an issue from all sides is:

Gullible.
