-Notice how there is no explicit acknowledgement that the market actually went up significantly. The same thing happened yesterday. This was in contrast to the downswing, where the headlines made it extremely clear the market was tanking down.

If you just looked at the headlines and nothing else a reasonable assumption would be that the market tanked and never recovered. This is a pretty decent example of how the MSM manipulates the truth to support their own agenda, which is basically submarining the Trump presidency in every way possible.
Except ultimately the story is still that the stockmarket has went down signficantly.

Also negative news ALWAYS sells better.

Not really sure but it seems to be another case of your biases throwing you off. This is how I would expect it to be regardless of the President.
