I'm really not sure what you mean. I think these people, while they do consider their actions "moral" aren't making a huge risk in quitting their job, which makes the decision much easier for them. It's hard to say something is a genuinely "moral" decision when it doesn't actually put them in any danger or cause any issues to them, if it is a decision that ultimately just lets them keep coasting along with their comfortable life it isn't really a moral decision, it's a PR move. If they do actually put themselves at risk, they are actually willing to sacrifice their own comforts for others, they actually want to help others, then I would be comfortable calling it a proper moral decision.
But I'm not at all going to bat for western journalists, I agree with you completely on them. They care far more about their job security than they do actually making any sort of change in the world. They will gladly cheer on a genocide and try to trick the public into cheering it on too. They care more about money and their "career" than they do about human life. They're despicable ghouls. Or not even ghouls, they're foul maggots feasting on the scraps the ghouls leave behind.
Sorry if that wasn't clear in my earlier comment.
