As yet another Us Weekly magazine cover featuring Jon and Kate Gosselin -- five in a row, but who's counting? -- lands on newsstands this week, Kate's brother and sister-in-law have joined the media fray.
Kevin and Jodi Kreider, who appeared occasionally on early episodes of Jon & Kate Plus 8, spoke to CBS' The Early Show and criticized the Gosselins for exploiting their children on reailty television.
"We're speaking out now because we want to be the voice of our nieces and nephews," Kevin said. "We're seeing ... that they're being viewed as a commodity."
Meanwhile, TLC Jon & Kate Plus 8 released a statement today saying it will continue to air the show, with 40 new episodes slated for its current season. That's double the typical order for any television series.
