Moments after South Carolina Republican Governor Nikki Haley endorsed Senator Marco Rubio on Wednesday in the South Carolina Republican presidential primary, the CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley and NBC Nightly News saw almost zero interest in this massive endorsement to the tune of only a combined 32 seconds. 

Instead, the two newscasts harped on Donald Trump’s comments about torture and his threats to sue Ted Cruz as the Texas Senator responded in a very contentious press conference earlier in the day prior to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll being released that showed him leading Trump nationally.
