Can somebody please help me with this sentence? What �s wrong with this? "Money and power are political medium." Should we say "...is political medium." Or "...are political media." Thank you.

As they are uncountable abstract nouns, you should say " Money and Power is .......". You also focus on the concept which is understood as singular.
