> when it's own guidelines say if media would cover it

Actually, the guidelines say: "If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic". And also: "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity" is OK.[1]

Long-form articles on news sites usually have much more intellectual content than TV news.
