Bing Changed - No More Rewards Points for Reading News?

To be more specific, when on the Bing homepage, clicking on one of the Trending News photos did actually result in a Bing search for that topic in that you went to a Bing search results page that contained all the search hits relative to that topic. This made it REALLY great for seeing numerous news sources and differing opinions on the subject. Even better, since it was a Bing search, it counted as such in regard to accumulating Microsoft Rewards points.

As of this morning, when on the Bing homepage, clicking on one of the Trending News photos will instead take you to a single MSN.com news article. From my perspective, this is a HUGE error in redesign. If I wanted to read a single opinion on the topic from MSN, I would go to the MSN.com New page to start with. However, if I am on the Bing homepage, I am expecting to do a proper Bing search. More to the point, when I click on one of the Trending News topic photos, I am expecting to perform a Bing search on that topic wherein I receive the appropriate spectrum of search results.

Changing the Bing.com search page to instead be a proxy for the MSN.com News site is not something that I am even slightly interested in. Again, if I had any interest in reading MSN news I would go to the MSN website directly. Really bad change in design from my perspective.
