[See NewsBusters for more.] The three networks routinely fawn over Jimmy Carter as a wise and impressive voice, yet ABC, CBS and NBC were silent when the ex-President trashed his fellow Democrat, Barack Obama, on Tuesday. In an interview with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Carter complained about how Obama handled ISIS: "First of all, we waited too long. We let the Islamic state build up its money, capability and strength and weapons while it was still in Syria."  Implying that the President's handling of the crisis in the Middle East has been muddled, Carter added, "It changes from time to time... I noticed that two of his secretaries of defense, after they got out of office, were very critical of the lack of positive action on the part of the president."
