garfieldAll joking aside the wikipedia article for this is somehow one of the most compellingly constructed and most outrageously biased that I've ever read. When they wrote "There is also controversy over both the beginning and the end of Wagner's life" they must have been jubilant, like this guy was literally controversial from the cradle to the grave!! He was not consensual for a single minute of his life! But with regards to the bias if I actually gave a shit I would be trying to edit this bloody article. Look at the last paragraph in the "Antisemitism" section. It begins with "Despite his published views on Jewishness, Wagner maintained Jewish friends", and the ONLY example it gives is of Hermann Levi, and "Wagner was quoted as saying Levi should be baptized before conducting Parsifal". Like surely after typing that out, you would have to either find a second example or rewrite the paragraph's opening sentence...
