As Bernie Sanders addresses supporters at a rally in Minnesota following a trouncing in the South Carolina Democratic primary, MSNBC and Fox News focused instead on Republican front-runner Donald Trump, who has racked up hour upon hour of coverage from cable networks since launching his campaign last year.

MSNBC spent Saturday night airing a documentary on Trump, while Fox News interviewed Donald Trump Jr. CNN and C-SPAN covered Sanders' speech in Minnesota, which has key caucuses on March 1.

CNN cut away to a commercial break roughly 25 minutes into Sanders’ speech. It came back to coverage of the South Carolina primary with Wolf Blitzer.
