Am I missing something? There's no [federal] shield law protecting journalists in the US.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shield_laws_in_the_United_Stat...

"There is no federal shield law and state shield laws vary in scope."

"There is no federal shield law"

Not even former or sitting presidents are protected.

"The Kansas Constitution does not have an express shield provision, nor has it been construed in a manner providing such protection."

The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution has been applied to the States by the Federal Courts via the Incorporation Doctrine (i.e., via the Fourteenth Amendment).
