Have corporations ever not played the "aggrieved victim" card?

The social/political appeal part is the new part. Companies have always released "we did nothing wrong" statements.

Yeah, the reflexive accusations of "witch hunts" and "crooked hit jobs" are a recent development. Their lineage is obvious and ... I guess you can't blame them because they (somehow) play with a significant percentage of the population.

Blaming the incident on “political retribution” (their words) implies that the US government is corrupt.

Such a weird thing to blame it on.
