I used to say the media hating the Bengals would only stop if we forced it to, with a SB run. Well...here we are. Nothing is changing. If Burrow and this awesome cast of characters on this team can't make sports media play nice, nothing will.

I think the media will always give the most love to the big teams.  Play to the big audience, get the bigger chances.  Hell, NFLN is right there by the stadium.  The big cities in general get more press, whether it's sports or the rest of life.  Media is driven by the same engine everything else is - money.  Play to your audience and the money trail.  Cincy has the feel good story going for them, but they haven't driven the interest just yet to be a consistent name.  Neither had KC until a few years ago.  They can have their turn, but it's not going to be an overnight hit.
