As photons only have 1/2 integer multiples of spin, the only thing that can
'bend' them is gravity (and that's not really bending light, but space
itself).  In a crt, a B field alters the paths of electrons which strike a
phospour coating on the front of the tube causing them to glow.  So, you
move the electrons around which cause different parts of the CRT to glow.
Basically you have a decent sized particle accelerator pointed at your face
for 8-20 hours a day every day.
