| 1. I don't know about question 3 |

But from the NPR show I listened to this morning, questions one and two both get a big "no".
The person on NPR was making a point that journalists are like doctors and lawyers- they are people that you want to be able to disclose information to in a pinch. If you can't trust them to keep your confidentiality, then would you go to them in the first place?
By extension, the second question is a no as well. Even though they didn't print a story, they still have a right to protect their sources.
I find Novak as disgusting as the next person, but I don't think it would be appropriate to compel him to reveal his sources.
