It's called 'embedding' journalists. It's a real problem.

Edit: struggling to understand why this would be down voted. I'm not making any kind of value claim. It's a matter of law that journalists who ride with soldiers are 'embedded' and the advice is not to do it because it's dangerous and makes things more dangerous for other journalists.

Thanks for informing about the right term for it!

There might be downvote bots etc. Never bother too much about the vote count on pages like these. Some communities in total, but at least certain discussions can quickly circle jerk. I'm reading also downvoted comments, because it could be a valuable perspective, even if it went against the flow.
