Robert Scoble: You Brits don’t have serious newspapers

-ZOE S. Blogger Robert Scoble may as well tattoo a bull’s-eye on his back and walk around shirtless because he is one of those that just keeps digging himself deeper into a shit pit and don't have the shoes for it. A target of Silicon Valley gossip blog Valleywag.com , Scoble now has to deal with disgruntled readers in the UK who wants to rip him a new one for saying there are no serious newspapers in the UK. "Now that I'm over in London I get to see the media that Valleywag is patterned after. Over here they don't have really serious newspapers. That's what the BBC is for, after all. But every store sells these gossip papers that scream at you with huge type. They go for the most salacious of topics. Just like Valleywag does. After all, if Scoble picks his nose, that's more interesting than what Oracle announced in a press release this morning, right? Heh." Britain doesn't have "serious" newspapers, says Scoble [PDA]
