CNN's Anderson Cooper and ABC's Martha Raddatz — co-moderators of Sunday's second presidential debate — are "feuding'' over who gets to tackle the biggest topics, a new report claims.

Meetings between Cooper and Raddatz, ABC and CNN producers and network officials are "acrimonious at best," Page Six says.

"Now CNN is running trailers for the debate, trumpeting the event as 'Hosted by Anderson Cooper.' This has infuriated ABC News boss James Goldston,'' a source told the gossip website.

"CNN has erased the name of the only female host of a presidential debate this cycle, and someone who was widely praised for her performance last time."

Meanwhile, ABC's promos reportedly list Raddatz as a "co-anchor" but do not mention Cooper.
