Take three more Tablets

Today's Sunday featured another interviewer from the liberal Catholic magazine The Tablet. 

That's the third within the space of a month. (Christopher Lamb, 13 October; Christopher Lamb, 27 October; and Liz Dodd, 10 November). 

This blog's first substantial post noted the dominance of guests from The Tablet (the Catholic equivalent of the Guardian) at the expense of the more conservative Catholic Herald. 

There were dozens from The Tablet over an 18-month period but not even one from the Catholic Herald. 

There was such a fuss as a result of our evidence that The Tablet guests on Sunday dropped to near zero for a while and a smattering of Catholic Herald guests began appearing. 

Now, eight years later, things look to have gone back to where they started: The Catholic Herald guests are gone again, and The Tablet guests are back in force. 

And, yes, The Tablet's trustees still include Lord Chris Patten, Baroness Shirley Williams, Baroness Helena Kennedy....and Sunday's main presenter Edward Stourton. 

It stank then, and it stinks now.
