So him saying that the media and Ref's Union are the reason he is in this position is totally reasonable to say. It doesn't mean he wasn't remorseful for what happened to that linesman... It just means he's frustrated that the Ref's Union is pushing for such a huge punishment.

The text really has nothing to do with it for me, I feel he had already buried himself with his explanations well before we ever knew about the text. That and the video evidence. I am sure it doesn't help though but for me as an outside person looking at it all the text means nothing one way or another. I guess to Bettman it does.
