Post 26/11, Goswami said that a "journalist couldn't afford to be objective and disjointed" and began to exercise his opinion to bring out change.
After 2008, the Newshour discussion started becoming "deafeningly argumentative" where Arnab gave strong rebuttals.
His playing to the gallery approach, interference and cutting down guests from talking, invited criticisms and accolades alike.
