James Gunn is NOT suing Trump for the Superman fake postings...

I have to admit, I was duped by this one too... But it's FALSE...

As I’ve said before many times, I will ADMIT when I’m wrong. I re-posted an article without going too much into it, because I was overly excited at the prospect of Trump being sued for $1 billion…

I apologize to all who followed and reposted and liked that article…

USAmidia is NOW going on the list of FAKE NEWS sites…

Is James Gunn suing the White House?

No, Gunn isn’t suing the White House over the Superman Trump post. The $1 billion lawsuit claim originates from a viral fake news article, and it’s completely untrue.

The report is from USAmidia, an outlet that has been known to share fake news in the past. According to Media Bias/Fact Check, it’s “a clickbait entertainment site that publishes sensationalist and often false news with no transparency and no editorial accountability.”

USAmidia published the piece on July 12, writing, “Acclaimed filmmaker and DC Studios co-head James Gunn has filed a $1 billion lawsuit against the White House and former President Donald Trump.

“The legal action, lodged in federal court, centers on allegations of copyright infringement stemming from an unauthorized political poster featuring Trump depicted as Superman.

“The bold imagery, which has sparked widespread controversy, is claimed to have violated intellectual property rights tied to the iconic superhero character owned by Warner Bros. and DC Comics.”

Don’t beat yourself up if you were duped. The article contains no disclaimers that it’s fictitious, it’s written exactly like a real news report, and it even uses fake quotes from experts.

It also makes no reference to any verifiable legal filings or official statements from Gunn, Warner Bros., or DC Studios – all of which would be standard in a real report of this scale.
