Row of lights reflecting from "Micky's Map"

During the possible travel of Wagner to Moscow, there was a map often
shown, obviously on a big screen in the newsroom. At least we _got_ a
map (see my recent comments about the lack of such), but: there was a
row of lights in the studio, that reflected off it, in a rather
distracting manner. I don't know which thought was more depressing -
that nobody knew how to turn them off, or (more depressing, I think)
nobody knew that that was what was going out.

(I'm not sure if this link will work, but
https://twitter.com/G6JPG_/status/1672647100499206153 was my attempt to
tweet about it, after a couple of hours [I'd tweeted a text-only comment
initially]. The effect was a bit more irritating than I managed to
capture in that picture.)

I can prove anything with statistics - except the truth.

Blind user, so no pictures please!

I don't understand! Who is Eileen? (Or what was it before the
spellchecker corrected it?)
