Murdoch defence 

Rejecting responsibility for any wrongdoing within your organisation because it's too big. Laying the blame on people who you trusted that let you down and let down the people who you trusted and so forth. Then claiming you're the best person to clear up the mess!
Louise Mensch: "Mr Murdoch, have you considered resigning?

Rupert Murdoch: "No."

LM: "Why not?"

RM: "Because, I feel that people I trusted, I'm not saying who, I don't know what level, have let me down. I think they behaved disgracefully and betrayed the company, and me. It's for them to pay. I think that, frankly, I'm the best person to clear this up. I plead the Murdoch defence!"

murdoch's morality 

term coined after the press Barron Rupert Murdoch, used to indicate a corporations mind set that uses bent or twisted morality in the so called public good to countenance amoral behaviour by that corporation. As in hacking of a murdered school girl mobile phone in the name of freedom of the press.
The actions of this drugs company are pour "murdoch's morality" hiding the fact it kills users because they say it gives hope to others.
