It has been announced today that staff at News International will undergo cognitive memory loss tests, after it was discovered that the vast majority of staff forget important information really easily.
This follows the Leveson enquiry when, after being pressed, important members of staff could not seem to remember really important information, which the vast majority of the public would definitely remember. Information such as hacking into phones or signing off private detectives to work for the company could not be remembered despite this being information that most ordinary people would have no problem remembering themselves.
However, perhaps more surprisingly, is that News International staff could remember random non-important information such as whose shagging who in TOWIE or Natalie Cassidy's weight loss programme, which often forms the basis of their news articles.
When asked about these tests at News International, Rupert Murdoch, who signed off these cognitive memory tests, stated that he didn't remember any conversation taking place about them.
