A clip which has now gone viral shows a “PornHub” banner popping up on CNN’s magic wall behind anchor John King. The clip appears to show King talking with Wolf Blitzer, and returning to his monitor only to find the banner which he swipes away and gives an off-camera look at whatever culprit was running the offstage.
Take a look at the alleged video that has gone viral. There is no audio, and the alleged video appears to have been captured on a smartphone.
Check out the viral clip:

Here’s the truth behind the viral video
If one looks very closely at the banner that King swipes away, it’s clear that it is floating above the screen, showing that hit has been layered on top via post-production.
If after watching again, check the same clip zoomed in at three frames per second below, and it is abundantly clear that it’s been morphed.
ENHANCE!
Here it is zoomed in at 3 frames per second.
This is such a lazy attempt but people are lapping it up immediately. pic.twitter.com/nQxoZz0mJ0

Final Verdict:
The video above clearly shows how the video has been morphed. The viral claim of PornHub banner popping up on CNN’s magic wall is FALSE.
