A person who does,says,thinks and believes everything popular culture and/or the media tells them to.
This term comes from the fact that these people follow the popular media like mice follow the dominant mouse in a cage or in a mousehole.
Often old enough to think for themselves, but are often too lazy or too obsessed with conformity and being liked to do so.

Record company executive: "Conformity is a beautiful thing! Let's get a few scantily clad blondes to dance around and pretend to sing and some stereotypical thuggish-looking black men skulking around in tacky-looking diamonds and pants hanging to their ankles to make up nonsense songs and unintelligible phrases. We'll make a fortune!"
A&R guy: But don't you think we should sign someone with talent who maybe isn't so visually exciting?
Record company executive: Nonsense Tom, these kids are media mice. They'll buy whatever MTV and BET tell them to. Put a few of these videos and TV and, bam we're rich!

Get the Media Whoremug. Will tried to get into the Washington Wizards Press Conferance, but he lost his media credentials. He then proceeded to go home and tell everyone he knew in his uber life that they were bandwagoners.

Get the media credentialsmug. A person whom flies toward any collection of reporters in an attempt to bring their personal issues to light on slow news days. Pest sprays only encourage them, and often draws other media moths to the infestation. Media Moths usually do something outrageous or unusual to draw attention then perform a slow spiral of self inflicted damage until their flame is extinguished by the scrutiny of people with common sense, or by a bigger news story.
Whoa, that media moth flamed out when the newshounds started chasing another story.

Get the Netstream Mediamug. A person who is influenced by the media's bias on any given topic. These people are very naïve and accept the information thrown at them without feeling the need to do their own fact-checking and research to formulate their own opinion. A non-freethinker.
These people are like Zombies in many ways. The first is as mentioned before - a non-freethinker. The second is that they go after others and spread the misinformation they received from the media in groups. They prey on others and spread this vile disease.
