Not sure whom you consider to be left wing media, but a quick google search of "Michael white released" turns up articles by NPR, NYT, LA Times, CNN, CBSnews, BBC, thehill.com, the Washington post, the guardian, Newsweek, WSJ, usatoday, pri, on the first two pages.

Iran Frees U.S. Navy Veteran Michael White Who Was Detained For Nearly 2 Years

Michael White, a U.S. Navy veteran held in Iran for almost two years, was released by Iranian authorities on Thursday, according to a statement from his mother, Joanne White.
"For the past 683 days my son, Michael, has been held hostage in Iran by the IRGC [Iran's Revolutionary Guard] and I have been living a nightmare," Joanne White, said in the statement posted to Twitter by family spokesperson Jonathan Franks. "I am blessed to announce that the nightmare is over, and my son is safely in American custody and on his way home."
White left Iran on a Swiss government aircraft and will return with U.S. special envoy for Iran, Brian Hook. He was released as part of an agreement between the U.S. and Iran involving a Florida dermatologist who had violated U.S. sanctions on Iran, according to The Associated Press.

The AP also reported that White is recovering from COVID-19 and had been released from prison on a medical furlough and handed over to the Swiss Embassy in Tehran.
White was initially detained in July 2018 while visiting a woman he had met online. During that visit, he was convicted of insulting Iran's supreme leader and posting on social media, according to Franks. White was sentenced to a decade in prison.

I am glad he has been released and we did not release any really bad guys to get him.

That being said, what a dumb ass! Meets an Iranian woman on line and goes to Iran. Then makes posts on social media while in Iran. What could go wrong with that plan?

It's not on the front page. All I see is all this racist black BS. We need to de-fund NPR, or not donate to it.
