I am surprised that there is even as much coverage as there is. We are still getting basically the same footage of big deserts full of broken rock from Mars that we were in the 1970s, it is just in higher resolution now. There is not much reason for a person to get particularly excited about yet another Mars rover unless that person is interested in some pretty technical stuff. And with a Chinese rover, US audiences do not even get a nationalist thrill from news about it. Basically, unless you are into science, the reality of Mars is kind of boring. It is like Antarctica - there can be a lot of drama in getting there and surviving there and traveling around its rough conditions, but actual footage from there is almost entirely just very similar-looking vast white plains.
