Could one bend light with magnetism?

Since light is an electromagnetic wave, it stands to reason that it would be affected by a magnetic field.  The problem, it would seem, is that the magnetic field oscillates, which I presume means the light is alternately repelled and attracted by a static field.

But what if one were to oscillate the magnetic field at the same frequency as the beam of light?  Would that then either attract or repel the light and thus alter its course?

And if so, would it even be possible to do this with current or forseeable future technology, at the frequencies at which light operates?

magnetic fields exert forces on *charged* particles *in motion* and the force is proportional to the velocity and charge and field strength and directed perpendicularly to *both* the field lines and the velocity direction.

Light is not charged, and thus is not affected by magnetic fields at all.
