Before 26/11, I used to be an Arnab Goswami regular. The ‘Newshour’ show moves fast, the debates are brief, he moderates the debates well and comes prepared with the stuff. But post 26/11 and the attendant success for Times Now, something has changed. Arnab seems to have mutated. The aggression has been replaced by smugness, incisiveness by invective, research by rhetoric and debate by discourse.
