No, it was just reported two hours ago. AP buried the lead, and only mentioned the two extra land deals as an aside.

You're right. I just looked at their site and found a link to this story:

Buried in the last 3 paragraphs on the article about the hotel payments from campaign funds, is this:

On the land dealings, Reid announced Monday he had failed to disclose two other transactions on his prior ethics reports and would account for those on his amended reports along with the 2001 sale.

The first, he said, involved the 2004 sale of about one-third acre of land he owned in his hometown of Searchlight, Nev. And he said he had not reported his ownership since 1985 of a quarter acre of land his brother gave him in 1985.

Reid said the failure to disclose those transactions previously was due to "clerical errors" and they amounted to "two minor matters that were inadvertently left off my original disclosure forms."
