ABC's Terry Moran joined us this morning on the mediabistro.com Morning Media Menu podcast to talk about covering Obama, Twitter and more.

He described the decision to tweet from aboard Air Force One last week. "It was a great opportunity to take people on board Air Force One...just something that was immediate and that was two way," he said. "When I Twittered the breakfast menu someone got back to me and said okay, 'What's the music on board?'"

Moran interviewed President Obama several times in the lead up to the election, and talked to him last week as well. "In some ways Barack Obama is the first president since George Washington to be taking a step down into the oval office. From visionary leader of a giant movement, now he's got an executive position that he has to perform in, in a way, and I think the coverage reflects that," he said.

Also discussed: Moran's reaction to the New York Post's semi-apology, the reason so many former journalists are joining the Obama administration and charging for content online.
