Here’s how Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Business describes our basic, inalienable rights as Americans in a Web preview of the new TV channel: Money, Success and Happiness. Thomas Jefferson himself could not have been more emphatic.

The site FoxBusiness.com went live today to give a glimpse of its news editors and reporters ahead of the channel’s launch on October 15. They’re promising to cut through the complicated, boring lingo of business news to make you a better investor. Maybe even a really rich one.

We’re still not sure what the Fox Business Network is going to look like, or how it’s going to compare with CNBC, the main financial news site watched by Wall Street. FBN says its focus are the folks that live at the intersection of “Wall Street” and “Main Street,” individual investors and small business owners who want answers to their financial questions and are sick of condescending “ticker talk.”
