It was obvious from the description of the speech by the MSM that the meme adjective was "dark" repeated by almost all of them. No doubt the DNC provided the talking points.

It is amazing that the Trump campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again" is somehow portrayed as being negative and not upbeat. Any negative criticism of the Obama administration and how it has transformed this country is viewed as "dark." Obama's record and Hillary's desire to be the third term of Obama are depressing and dark. Two thirds of Americans believe we are on the wrong track. Trump is shedding light on Obama's dark legacy.

It was dark, it was a description of the truth.

Yep, for the media “dark” really means “we’re upset that Trump is criticizing the results of Obama’s presidency”.

And of course the whole deal with Trump is that he fully intends to lift America out of the present darkness. But of course they choose to ignore that.
