The assistant managing editor at the Fort Bend Herald newspaper, in Rosenberg, TX, John Merculief, has published an editorial that purports to be concerned about honoring the memory of Thomas Araguz III, who he describes as the person at the center of the lawsuit against Nikki Araguz. However, John Merculief appears to be just another foot soldier in the Texas yellow journalism brigade, which doesn't seem to know when to stop shoveling shinola at the sensibilities of its primarily Texan readers. Merculief's article, which is replete with the same heaping dish of diatribe the Texas media has employed in myriad ways since a couple weeks after Thomas Araguz's death, diatribe that dishonors Thomas and disrespects the memory of the work he did, as Merculief's editorial represents yet more continuation of the media's verbal assault of Nikki Araguz, the woman Thomas Araguz loved, chose to love, chose to live with, and married.
