I thought this 538 chart was interesting. Shows that the media really covers Jeb much more than people seem to care about him.

It's articles on Google News, so links to news stories like a PG article, Fox News story, NY Times article, etc. Probably a decent source for tracking news coverage.

Or maybe it's because they cover the canidates that have the best chance of winning. Assuming that's who the public is most interested in.

Hillary, Bush, Walker etc.
