They misstated the statistic. It's that 56 percent of Google News users sometimes click through to excerpted stories (i.e., 44% of users never click through to the original), not that the average user clicks through to 56% of the stories. When I read stuff like that, I always wonder if the reporter simply worded it wrong, or if he actually thought that what he was saying might be true, or if he simply didn't think about it and didn't care.
