IOW: The content companies would get a revenue stream, but as I hear him, Bing would be the primary beneficiary in the short run.

Murdoch might be the one to pioneer this and he might get some quick income, but if Microsoft is willing to pay and if they're willing to negotiate something with the other players, Google could easily lose market share over the long run.

I disapprove of these business practices that artificially entice people to use specific search engines. However, this does not make me immune to the effects.

I agree with this, but feel like it misses a larger point. This isn't exactly the full picture of how it worked during the heyday of print journalism, is it? Subscriptions made up a small percentage of revenue, but the rest was comprised mainly of advertising and classifieds. There really is no successful subscription-only media model that has ever worked, as far as I know.
You still have to figure out some sort of successful advertising model to complete the picture.
