Bernie certainly had/has more support than young, white, college educated men. In 2016, so many people from different ages and walks of life were at the two of his rallies I attended and basically all the people I knew voting blue were more interested in Bernie that Hillary.

I see that he got shafted by media and the party more than he was not as popular.

He's also not popular with the stable, middle class democratic electorate who make up a plurality of their consistent voters. I think they'd vote for him in the generals if he won the primaries but I don't think even with media hype he can win those primaries without a massive wave of independents voting in them
