Tele brings us the Iron Chef debut which is both paltry and a good performance

While it’s not entirely uncommon for a newspaper to carry opinion columns that disagree with each other, today’s Daily Telegraph has pulled off something of a first.

It carries two news stories disagreeing with each other. On the same page.  

On the left hand side, Sydney Confidential raises questions about the health of Seven boss Kerry Stokes before adding:

“…with Iron Chef – Seven’s answer to Ten’s smash-hit Masterchef – this week debuting to a paltry 1.129m viewers.”

But on the right of page, the paper observes:

“It was more clunky and force fed than the loopy cult show it copies but the Australian version of Japanese classic cooking show The Iron Chef performed well on debut on Tuesday night.”
