But “media” is plural.

And the expression “the reason being is ...” The verb in that phrase is “being.” It does not require “is.” It would only need another verb if the phrase were itself a noun, which it is not. Substitute “is” for “being” and listen to how stupid it sounds.

Worse still: "the reason is because . . "

The reason? It's redundant.
