we can't be credibly accused of retribution. Moreover we can call out violations and put the offenders on notice that such violation of the canon will be punished in our administration.

Of course, we don't want to punish anybody. We want all journalists to be ethical, even if they don't always share our points-of-view. And by beginning the process of calling out the D and F players, the C and C+ players will get the point that we aren't going to accept even C-level journalistic ethics.
