Where Da Ali G Show focused on television's unique ability to enable our worst impulses and Borat was about the underlying horrors of American hospitality, Who Is America sometimes feels like a scattershot riff on reality television that Cohen half-sketched out in 2005 and then forgot about until a few months ago.
I say that not just because Rogue One was completed long before Donald Trump's election or even Brexit, but because Edwards uses a kind of scattershot approach to political content in his films — he'll give you just enough of an idea of what he's going for, but he's uninterested in pushing any further than that.
For generations who have come of age long after Warhol's death in 1987, grids of these portraits are often viewed as his signature work — their eye-popping colors and scattershot brushwork atop a repeating washed-out image serving as shorthand for not only the artist's overall style, but the very aura of fame itself.
A coordinated White House strategy could also be more effective than the scattershot approach of Republican members of Congress, some of whom did their best to confuse the public during the Intelligence Committee hearings by raising debunked conspiracy theories and pushing the unfounded allegation that Ukraine had interfered in US elections, rather than Russia.
The Republicans' scattershot approach was on full display Monday morning, as Trump veered from an attack on the media, calling an African American Democratic candidate a "thief" and continuing an escalating barrage of inciting claims about "the caravan" -- a group of migrants whose movements have become a catch-all for his anti-immigrant messaging.

What is not working, political and public health leaders on the front lines say, is the current, scattershot approach which appears to rely on shaky verbal commitments from major companies, which can turn around and shop for higher prices, and rich individuals, who do not have a clear view of where the greatest need for life-saving equipment resides.
The real problem, however, is the reliance on computer tools in a society that doesn't put a premium on having enough social workers and caregivers; where treatments for addiction are scattershot (and with people who apparently don't even answer the phone), and without long-term plans to address the poverty level and effects on the children.
The handful of pardons that President Trump has granted so far may appear to be scattershot, but they're beginning to show a distinct pattern — not just of who he believes is worthy of mercy, but of how he thinks about the justice system as a whole and about his power to bend it to his will.
In it, he raps with some of the nimbleness that's been missing in recent years, takes on a beat that necessitates a scattershot flow, retells the story of his arrest in 2007 in New York, and says that he has blocked his former mentor and father-figure Baby's phone number while pledging allegiance to Jay-Z's Roc Nation.

Cohen, to a pornographic film actress.

As a host, he's a bit frenzied, and it's not clear if his scattershot style is the result of nerves, production issues — during the first episode you could hear crosstalk from the crew, according to EW — or if it's just because MTV has decided to shove as much content as possible into five hours per week, and he needs to talk fast to pull it all off.
Kaitlyn Tiffany: Though last Sunday's episode of Game of Thrones was sort of scattershot and not exactly my cup of tea, I've already gone back a few times to the moment when Theon has to make the crucial choice between fighting his uncle to protect his sister or, you know, diving off the side of a ship into an ocean, with nowhere to go.

As the mayor embarks on the second half of his term, with approval ratings still hovering around 50 percent, Mr. de Blasio used his speech to recite, in scattershot form, a list of his accomplishments — universal prekindergarten, paid sick leave, contracts signed with most city workers, a municipal identification card for all New Yorkers regardless of immigration status — that appeared pitched to his re-election campaign in 2017.
Trump appears, for the moment, not just willing but eager to follow the recommendations of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and advisers like Stephen Moore and Larry Kudlow, all of whom are pushing the idea that, after two more weeks of scattershot pandemic management, everyone is going to have to get back to work reviving the bottom lines and stock prices of various flagging economic sectors, notwithstanding some mass death around the margins.

As Mark Greif of n+1 writes in "Radiohead, or the Philosophy of Pop": We don't even agree about how the interconnection of pop music and lyrics, rather than the words spoken alone, accomplishes an utterly different task of representation, more scattershot and overwhelming and much less careful and dignified than poetry—and bad critics show their ignorance when they persist in treating pop like poetry, as in the still-growing critical effluence around Bob Dylan.
The problems that we have on that front -- the scattershot contributions of Congress thus far, the willingness of Republicans to stifle a solid investigation, the ability of partisanship in the electorate to protect Trump's standing in red states, the limits of what Mueller can put in his report and the potential secrecy of his findings, and the siloed, fragmented partisan news media -- these are much more likely to protect the President if impeachable findings emerge than anything that goes on in Vietnam.
