PRESS DIGEST - Wall Street Journal - June 14 Jun 14th 2012, 05:54 June 14 | Thu Jun 14, 2012 1:54am EDT June 14 (Reuters) - The following were the top stories in the Wall Street Journal on Thursday. Reuters has not verified these stories and does not vouch for their accuracy. * U.S. lawmakers interrogated JP Morgan CEO Dimon in a much-anticipated and sometimes-heated exchange after the bank registered more than $2 billion in derivatives losses. * Big money managers and Wall Street banks are laying the groundwork for a new marketplace for corporate bonds, an effort that highlights the heft of large investors and the impact of new rules limiting bank risk-taking. In recent weeks, senior traders at investment managers and big Wall Street banks have been discussing how the financial industry can set up a centralized electronic market that would let all participants trade bonds freely with one another, according to people involved in the talks. * Comcast Corp's NBC wrapped up its prime-time ad-sales deals for the coming TV season, negotiating slightly more money than it did last year despite continued weak-ratings performance. The Peacock network took in about $1.8 billion in ad commitments in the so-called "upfront" ad market, up from roughly $1.7 billion in last year's upfront, according to a person familiar with the matter. * An ex-partner of Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP has accused the former leaders of the bankrupt law firm, once one of New York's largest, of running a "Ponzi scheme" that used money invested by new partners to enrich themselves and others. * England's Premier League, one of the world's most popular soccer organizations, said that two companies agreed to pay £3 billion ($4.67 billion) for the U.K. broadcasting rights to three years of live matches, 69% more than broadcasters paid for similar rights in 2009. * Some investors are buying shares in developing economies again, encouraged by steps central banks from Brazil to China are taking to boost growth. * Online video companies are ramping up their lobbying of lawmakers and regulators, but their adversaries-traditional cable-TV companies and Internet-service providers-have far deeper pockets on K Street. * To combat a thriving black-market in greenbacks, Argentina's government has taken to deploying tax inspectors with dollar-sniffing dogs and widely publicizing its busts of street money changers. * As Mitt Romney hops among battleground states to highlight U.S. economic woes, he keeps knocking against dissonant voices from his own side: Republican governors touting recent turnarounds.
