President Barack Obama spoke at the annual American-Israeli conference in Washington, DC, Sunday, CBS News said.
In terms of the way the reporter crafted the story, she seemed to put a premium on the president's agenda that assured the United States would not sit idly by and let Iran build a nuclear weapon. She also made sure to mention that the president and the Israeli prime minister will be meeting just a day after his speech on the matter.
When the reporter adds information like this, she is helping the reader to understand context and reaction better than a simple manuscript of the speech could. Other links are also provided to give additional understanding of the matters at hand. One of the links is a video and the other leads you to the American-Israeli conference website, which coincidentally crashed due to the actions of hacker activist group Anonymous.
