Two Indian TV hosts, Arnab Goswami and Rahul Shivshankar, have faced embarrassment during live political analysis shows while sensationalising the hot issue of Ukraine-Russia conflict in the presence of foreign panelists.
The videos of the TV shows of both anchorpersons, Arnab Goswami and Rahul Shivshankar, have gone viral on social media, bringing embarrassment to both of them globally.
In a viral video of Times Now programme, Rahul Shivshankar was seen scolding and shouting at a wrong panelist. The penalists included Daniel McAdams, executive director of the Ron Paul Institute, and Bohdan Nahaylo, chief editor of Kyiv Post to discuss Ukraine-Russia conflict.

The viral video clip showed Shivshankar kept ranting the panelist Bohdan Nahaylo by calling him McAdams after misidentifying the actual person who he is talking with. At a point, the panelist McAdam stopped him for yelling at him as he did not say a word so far, making the host to realise his mistake.
In another show hosted by Arnab Goswami on Republic TV debate show, a Portuguese panelist from Lisbon schooled the TV host for not allowing the penalists from giving their point of views over the Russia-Ukraine issue.
The Portuguese panelist said, โI would like to ask you to de-escalate your language. Your are speaking in very hyper-tense words and youโre using very emotive language.โ
โYou interrupted a speaker in a brutal way, which is not helpful in the exchange of opinions. I am shocked that your editorial positon is so prejudicial towards the ongoing crisis.โ
He then said, โThis is a war against NATO. The end game of Mr Putin is to show the shambles that NATO and to take the American knee out of the European neck. You, India along with China will be the major beneficiaries if Putin succeeds.โ

He slammed the TV host that the editorial position of Goswamiโs TV channel will harm the stance of India for airing content against their own interests. Interestingly, netizens expressed surprise that Arnab Goswami was left speechless by saying nothing to the panelist for over a minute.
