A deepfaked video made it look like a CNN anchor swiped away a Pornhub window during election results.

A video purporting to show a Pornhub pop-up on CNN's "Magic Wall" during the US election coverage went viral on Twitter, with viewers trolling news anchor John King for it.
The truth, however, is that the video was what is known as a deepfake, meaning it was not real footage.
The Pornhub logo was, in fact, added to the live footage after it had aired.
Fake or not, users took great delight in sharing the video across social media, with some calling it "the highlight of the election".
The video, which has since gone viral, shows CNN anchors Wolf Blitzer and John King discussing votes counted in Pennsylvannia.
However, it didn't take long for people to realise the video was fake, and many users then shared the real footage, showing that King was, in fact, flicking away a phone notification that popped up on the screen.
