The fact that burke/poille are annoyed seems to point to the media in the room indicates that they were expecting that being granted access to such meetings comes with a level of discretion.
Either you blame burke for being too blunt knowing media was in the room, or you blame the media for being more careful in what they quote in the article.
Bobby Ryan has done nothing wrong here.

It is not Bobby Ryan's fault, but doesn't mean that people can't think that Ryan is whining a little too much about some quotes.
Johnson, Yandle, and others had some harsh things said about them as well and they handled it much better than Ryan.
