Scribe tribe

The sterling highlight, however, has also been marked with a deep twinge of sadness. The recent controversy sparking off a spat between the Shiv Sena and global Indian SRK has distressed the actor. Nevertheless, Khan doesn't mince words as he states to the scribe tribe, "The controversy is with me and my statement. It has nothing to do with Karan (Johar), Kajol or the film. I stand up for my comments... there is no excuse for having said what I said and I am proud that I have a take like that. There should be no place for mob law in India." SRK's stance has been strongly endorsed by Aamir Khan too, who has also been a target of the Sena ire.

It means "journalists". "scribe" = someone who writes (especially in specialist or historical contexts); used facetiously of journalists "tribe" = group of people sharing similar traits Here the author is having fun with words and making a rhyming phrase out of it.

Just a clever (?) bit of made-up slang that refers to reporters.
If you look the words up individually you should see the meaning.
