(Newser) – Chris Cuomo tears Jon Gosselin apart in an interview on tonight's ABC News Primetime, E! Online reports. Cuomo suggests Jon's soul-mate connection with Hailey Glassman, 22, is just a rebound effect, and laid into the possible new reality show Divorcing Dads, featuring Jon, K-Fed and Michael Lohan, asking what impression it gives his kids. "My kids don't know Michael Lohan," Gosselin retorts. "They're going to! They're going to know what you do," Cuomo insists.

Jon's claim that he and Kate aren't forcing the kids on camera "doesn't wash," Cuomo added. But Jon insisted he could win back America's affections: "It's just like the change from America's favorite dad to dirt-bag. Tomorrow I could be maybe America's favorite dad again. It could be after this interview. I don't know."

I love her more than I did Kate. I get encouragement from her, I get respect from [Glassman]. Two things that a man needs. This is someone, I mean, like soul mate—like people joke about that. But I'm not joking about that. - Jon Gosselin on his new girlfriend

It's a shame because no interviewer would dare rip into a female (Kate) the same way. They just took advantage of that fact and decided to puff up their chest and be that great hardcore journalist who is "not afraid to ask the hard questions" that everyone talks about. The only problem is instead of doing it to a politician, world leader, someone like Bill Gates, they pick a reality TV guy that has been beaten in the media for 6 months already. Way to go. How fast people forget how much Kate was hated right before Jon started dating.
