You may be confusing net neutrality with the fairness doctrine. Net neutrality is targeted at carriers (Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, etc.), saying they have to treat all content neutrally. They can't discriminate based on content, so they can't discriminate based on the political leaning of that content. The fairness doctrine would be targeted at content producers (web sites), forcing them to make content adhere to some political spread.
