Hi Steemit! I'm Philip DeFranco - creator of the Philip DeFranco Show (on Youtube)
WHO AM I?
Hi, my name is Philip DeFranco. I created and run the Philip DeFranco Show on Youtube! A Monday-Thursday show that covers domestic and international news. A show that prides itself on exposing fake news, properly investigating, researching and explaining all sides/arguments, and then sharing my opinion to start a discussion about this crazy world that we live in. No one knows what to believe anymore and I aim to be the place people go when they want to trust whats in front of them.
I want to take this successful show/mindset and experiment with expanding here to Steemit/Dtube. Eventually, making exclusive content for the Steemit/Dtube community. The community here reminds me of the early days of Youtube (back in 2008). And I'm really excited to learn, grow, and contribute here on the Steem platform into the future!

Hello! Welcome to Steemit.
In order to prevent identity theft, identity deception of all types, and content theft we like to encourage users that have an online identity, post for a website or blog, are creators of art and celebrities of all notoriety to verify themselves. Verified users tend to receive a better reception from the community.
Any reasonable verification method is accepted. Examples include:
Thank you!
This is a fake account impersonating Philly D.

It's sad that people think they can get away with it too. Yes, we have people on here confirming accounts folks. The more famous a person is or the more valuable their content online is, the more important it is to verify their identity.
I have done what you have done multiple times, and I'll reach out to the real person for verification. Many times they are the real deal, but occasionally it's a fake profile. Kudos to you for checking into this one and getting an answer from the real guy!
Here's the promising new user information I share regarding verifying an account:
Account Verification
Verifying your identity is very important because it will get you more support and people will trust you more.
The best way to verify is to link back to your Steemit account by using one of your other social media accounts. Some people will even post a video of themselves writing out their account information since that cannot be Photoshopped.
The more famous a person is and the more valuable their content is, the more important it is that they verify.
Thanks again, @truthforce, for being one of the Steemit Detectives keeping this place free of imposters and scammers! :)

Welcome to the VIP of Social Media! Once you are able to upload a video on DTube talking specifically about STEEM and DTube upvotes and beautiful bastards will flood in! Glad to see you here!
The only reason this post does not have a bigger reward, it is because it's not clear if you are the real @Philipdefranco. If you are welcome and hope to soon see your content tailored to steemit. Great to see that you are back in charge of your content once again. I have always been a admirer of your show.
