Treating Iran like Canada is not something most of the United States supports.
With respect to this idea that the media is intentionally ignoring Paul (as I said, my feeling is that is categorically false but one of those things that it's hard to prove one way or the other), my question would be, why? Is the idea that he is so radically different that he terrifies the status quo media? That makes no sense to me. Ross Perot got a huge amount of media attention in his day. I don't mean to sound disingenuous - I just think the limitations of Paul's popularity are self-imposed, rather than the result of some kind of media blackout. We are not, after all, hearing much about Santorum, Huntsman or Gary Johnson either.
Ross Perot spent over 40 million of his own money to get on TV. Since he was buying TV time, the press was sure to cover him. Also he was an Independant buying the time, so both parties rose up to discredit him, etc.
