Starting Friday night, CBS began previewing an exclusive “60 Minutes” interview with Leon Panetta, which aired on Sunday night, in which the former Secretary of Defense admitted he advised President Obama to arm the Syrian rebels as early as 2012. Despite Panetta’s criticism of President Obama’s strategy to combat ISIS, ABC and NBC have ignored the story altogether despite having multiple opportunities since the preview for the interview first aired on the CBS Evening News on Friday night.
