I'm glad to see the MSM is continuing its inept news coverage. The firm Campbell Rinker, which conducted the survey, is headed up by Dirk Rinker. Here is Dirk Rinker's bio...
"Dirk Rinker is a Partner in Guest Reflections, a service that sends mystery visitors to churches and reports on their experiences, observations and interactions. Dirk has worked in the field of church growth, research and nonprofit marketing since 1983. His research efforts have aided the marketing strategies of AWANA International, Back to the Bible, Campus Crusade for Christ, Church World Service, Coral Ridge Ministries, Charles E. Fuller Institute, The Gideon’s International, Gospel Light, Group Publishing, Here's Life Inner City, International Bible Society, International Mission Board (SBC)"
...So you have a study with apparently no methodology (its not detailed, anyway) being promoted by a guy who makes his living out of consulting to evangelicals that happens to say that conservatives are more generous than liberals. Sounds to me like the MSM is more lazy than Mike O'Meara.
