He does have the facts straight.
Beck simply has his facts wrong.
Last month, Beck referred to OMB Director Peter Orszag, who is Senate-confirmed, as a “czar.” He later acknowledged his mistake after he was called out on it.
Many of the positions he refers to as czars are actually long-standing positions.
Additionally, in Beck’s infamous photo gallery of "czars", he includes Elizabeth Warren, who in her position as chair of a Congressional oversight panel, works for Congress, not the White House.
Beck also includes Cass Sunstein, who cruised through his confirmation hearing for his nomination to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, but his final confirmation is being held up by Senate Republicans.
