Sinclair to Employees: Keep Your Mouth Shut (Patreon)

Sinclair is facing a a number of lawsuits. Tribune is suing them for a billion dollars for screwing up the deal. The Sinclair stock holders are also looking at a class action suit against the company for not being upfront with the FCC about the Tribune deal. 

A memo sent out to every Sinclair employee from the company's lawyer is asking the staff to keep their mouth shut when it comes to the lawsuits.

Sinclair attorney Barry Faber tells employees in the memo, "We recently learned that individuals who appear to be lawyers for (or representatives of) the plaintiff in the lawsuit (or other lawyers seeking to assert similar claims against Sinclair) have contacted current and former Sinclair employees in connection with this lawsuit."

He also adds, "I also want to remind you not to disclose any confidential information concerning Sinclair to any person outside of the company."

I wonder if this memo obtained by FTVLive counts as "confidential information"?
