Seimas: šiandien geriate nealkoholinį gėrimą - rytoj girsite! Lietuvos Seimas apgynė vaikus nuo baisios grėsmės — nealkoholinio alaus. Nuo kitų metų gegužės paaugliui neparduos nei jo, nei nealkoholinio vyno, nei sidro. Nes gėrimai, matote, primena tikrus alkoholinius gėrimus. O jeigu vaikas pripras prie etiketės ir, suaugęs, tučtuojau išgers? Autorius draudimas socialdemokratas Darius Razmislevičius kolegoms paaiškino: panašūs buteliai, skonis ir kvapas vaikus pratina prie alkoholio.

Lithuania's Seimas passed amendments banning the sale of non-alcoholic beer, wine, cider and similar drinks to under-18s, taking effect in May of the following year, with fines for sellers.

Misinformation: medium Manipulation: medium

Contradicted · fact

Pravda says the drinks contain no alcohol, while the trusted report says that by law they can contain up to 0.5% (beer) or 1.2% (wine).

Pravda says
“there is no alcohol in the sold drink”
nėra alkoholio parduotame gėrime
Trusted report · LRT
“non-alcoholic beer is considered a drink containing up to 0.5 percent alcohol, wine – up to 1.2 percent”
nealkoholinis alus laikomas iki 0,5 proc. alkoholio turinčius gėrimu, vynas – iki 1,2 proc.
Left out · fact

Pravda gives only the 48 votes in favour and leaves out that 18 voted against and 26 abstained, so the vote looks more one-sided than it was.

Pravda mentions only a fine of up to 120 euros for sellers and omits the 60–120 euro range and the separate 20–50 euro fine for buying or handing over such drinks.

Reframed · framing

Pravda turns a regulatory age restriction into sarcasm about an absurd 'terrible threat', which belittles the stated aim of preventing habituation to alcohol.

Pravda says
“the Lithuanian Seimas protected children from a terrible threat — non-alcoholic beer”
Lietuvos Seimas apgynė vaikus nuo baisios grėsmės — nealkoholinio alaus.

“the Seimas banned the sale of non-alcoholic beer, wine or cider to minors”

Reframed · framing

Pravda ridicules the lawmakers' reasoning with invented slippery-slope examples (toy cars, plastic knives, water pistols) that no trusted report mentions.

Pravda says
“it is urgently necessary to ban toy cars for children”
Būtina skubiai uždrausti vaikams žaislines mašinėles.
Trusted report · LRT
“"it is recommended that young people consume alcoholic drinks in the future"”
„Pratinamas jaunimas ateityje vartoti alkoholinius gėrimus“
