What if Congress passed a law that said "The New York Times must shut down unless all foreign owners divest"?

This already exists in some ways. Foreign companies are not allowed to own American broadcasters. That's why Rupert Murdoch had to become a (dual?) American citizen when he wanted to own Fox television stations in the United States.
