Longform journalism can be reduced to the simple formula of ostensibly liberal journalists writing pieces that appeal to conservatives.

I think you have it backwards. Standardized testing was a liberal policy to promote egalitarianism and civil rights, and it was historically opposed by conservatives. Liberals persuaded conservatives that standardized testing was a Good Thing, but as with segregation, opposition to mixed-race relationships, and general race essentialism, leftists are copying right-most folks in opposing standardized testing. It's not "liberals appealing to conservatives".

And we've gone full circle: objective analysis, facts, longform journalism, etc. are now what "appeals to conservatives".
