I don't believe anyone is going to admit that they "100% believe in everything they read." No one wants to believe they are entirely gullible or that the wool has been pulled over their eyes. Just like 80% of people believing they're in the top 10%, most people who are being tricked or mislead are likely very unaware of it.
That only leaves "with a grain of salt" and perpetual cynic.
I'm going to with perpetual cynic, unless it matches my worldview and is written with correct grammar and usage. I'd be a damn liar if I said I subjected things I agreed with to the same scrutiny as the things I disagreed with. I can usually find evidence that something I disagree with false within minutes, and often take the opportunity. I could probably find evidence that something I agree with is false too, but it's the less likely and less-used option, for sure.
