Does it seem like the media intentionally avoid coverage of Beto?

I've been noticing this for a while, but he was endorsed recently by Oprah. Didn't get any of the coverage that Fetterman's endorsement did. I realize that there was a previous relationship with Oz and Oprah, but still. I just don't hear anything about him and he is a very compelling communicator IMHO.

He was great at that press conference when Abbott tried to hide behind all the cops after Uvalde. That should be a campaign ad.
