One of the earliest things you should be taught in Radio-TV or J-School, though, is to ALWAYS assume the microphone is on and don't say anything stupid when one is even in the same room.

That's my experience. I wasn't exactly on CNN, but rather a college TV newscast, but we never made any noise when it wasn't our turn to read. You can never place 100% faith in those sound guys.
Of course, on CNN, this wasn't exactly a 90 second package from what I can tell. They were feeding live video, which played for several minutes. The sound operator just goofed. People make mistakes.
