To directly answer the original point:
Indy media sources aren't ignoring the subject. The author went to one source and cited it as the focal point of liberal thought. Well, alternet.org has been running stories regarding Iran for at least as long as corporate media.
btw, this seems contrary to the usual assertion--that the media is dominated by liberals. The author didn't cite any mainstream sources as liberal sources refusing to lead the story.
