Actually, and least in CRT monitors, there are no magnets. The direction of the electrons being fired are controlled by coils of wire with current running through them, which induces a magnetic field.

The reason a magnet damages a CRT monitor is because it causes the electrons to either be attracted or repelled, and that will disrupt the image, and can even cause the screen itself to become charged in certain places. That charge will continue to disrupt images the whole time it remains.
