I think CNN brought up the news letters before Beck did. And the thing is the news letter and a whole lot other material was already common knowledge and any researcher for a news organization should have been aware of them. So, I guess Glenn Beck and his organization felt that this wasn't a big deal until somebody else brought this issue to the news.
What bothers me with Beck isn't that I disagree with him on many issues, but that I don't trust his honesty on dealing with certain issues, and Ron Paul is the top one.
