How to actually read the WSJ

I'm really only interested in topics including: M&A/Investment bank news (large cap down to LMM stuff), PE fundraise processes, alternative investments, lending, and good-to-know Macro news and I guess the one off piece here and there. I have the WSJ but theres so much stuff I couldn't care to read and also really don'tfind relevant to my interests that I'm wondering how do I read this. Some guy on a past forum reccomended this one book on how to actually read the WSJ but first off thats gay asf but also that book was like 400 pages on how to read a single website like fuck no. Is there a way to get to the content I want on WSJ or should I get another publication?

Dude the whole point of posting this is that I don't care to read about every single Trump crashout, Israeli bullshit, random personal finance articles and AI innovations the WSJ pumps out every day. I get all of that at like the end of the week in a 10 minute recap on YouTube or something but those topics are so repetitive. I'm trying to read things I'm interested in. I'm trying to read about shit like PIMCOs move into ABL, Vista's CV with Cloud Software, whats new wiith BlackRocks aggressive campaign into private markets, WF advising on Worldpay, updatw on Deutsches gamble on advisory, Citis RX status, Blue Owls next wierd headline, etc etc.
