Uh, no that's not what it's saying.

I have no idea what you're responding to here.

paper-machine was pointing out that those who post on that blog come from a particular subset of the "99% movement", and so only looking at people from that blog will skew your judgement of the entire mass of people.

Were you disagreeing that making inferences about a movement based on one blog constitutes availability bias?
