With every operation itself a media event, beauty and fame may end up being one and the same.


In the above quote, can 'with every operation itself a media event' be replaced with 'with every operation itself being a media event'?
If so, which is better expression in every day life of natives?


Thanks.

I like your suggest of adding "being" to the first part of the sentence.
