Not really, because there might be some cases where compelling a journalist to reveal their sources is the right thing to do. Coming up with examples is trivial: child abuse, war crimes, etc. Of course, this should be extremely rare (which it already is). The freedom of the press, much like the freedom of speech (and religion, for that matter), is not -- Constitutionally speaking -- absolute.

I'm not clear how those require revealing sources?

If a source reports a war crime, people should be going after the war criminal, not the person that called them out

No, the bug is a government agency knowingly trying to work around legal process.
