yea, but remember ammi, they got in the news because it was a strange story, most biological twins that were separated probably don't feel that way. the news only focuses on strange and unique stories. if it was a story about biological twins that didn't have any kind of connection or similarities it doesn't make the news.

The media can really **** up your perception that way.

The media (US and UK) only report on exceptional stories, so you really can't judge reality based on the news media, which is only telling you the exciting stories. They only tell you the stories and cases they think are sensationalist enough to get people's attention.

They are a business that makes their profit from the number of people watching, and the more sensationalist the story, the more people watch. and the more the people that watch, the higher the price they can sell advertising.
