Taking this story with a grain of salt.

One of my other political sites pointed out that it was no less than the very same Free Beacon which peddled the phony dossier.

Pretty much impugns their credibility, in my book.

I think Bill Gertz has pretty good credentials as a reliable investigative reporter.

Do you have the source—the other political site??

This is my source on the dossier subject regarding Free Beacon. Please read it...

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/once-more-for-good-measure-conservatives-didnt-fund-the-steele-dossier

The Washington Free Beacon did not bankroll the Steele dossier, a highly dubious work of opposition research alleging the Russians have compromising personal and financial information on Donald Trump.

Rather, the conservative newsroom hired the same research firm that later created it, Fusion GPS, in 2016 to investigate Trump and other Republican candidates during the GOP primaries.

After Trump had won the nomination, the Free Beacon dropped the project. It was at that point that Democratic operatives swooped in, bringing along with them former British spy Christopher Steele. It is from Steele’s work that we get all this Russia business.

Much more at the link...

There is nothing specific in the article. It is only an article that states over and over that the Chinese will meddle in the election.

It gives one reference to something about the Des Moines Register but does not explain.

“Few public examples were seen but one example was paid Chinese propaganda supplements in newspapers such as the Des Moines Register.”
