No. Net neutrality means your ISP being neutral towards content, not the content being neutral. Net neutrality is the opposite of fairness doctrine because it would mean the network cannot care about the content at all, and thus no decision as to the content's "neutrality" can be made.

Plus, net neutrality is targeted at ISPs. Fairness doctrine would be targeted at the content producers.
